James says he doesn't worry about Bullock
Car-customizer and former reality-show star Jesse James says he no longer cares what his ex-wife Sandra Bullock thinks of him, though he bemoans that she has largely cut herself off from her former stepchildren.
"I can't worry about her anymore," James told Vicki Mabrey in a "Nightline" interview Wednesday, as he made the rounds promoting his new memoir "American Outlaw," which he is signing Thursday at the Book Revue in Huntington.
"I think I've spent a good chunk of the last five or six years worrying only about her, and what she thinks, and what I should do" he said of Oscar-winner Bullock, whom he married in 2005 and divorced last year when his infidelities came to light.
James, 42, told Mabrey he moved to Austin, Texas, Bullock's new home, hoping his three children could continue their relationships with Bullock.
He also wanted some relationship with 15-month-old Louis, the son he and Bullock had started to adopt and whom Bullock is now raising alone.
But, he said, "I've never seen Louie since everything happened."
His daughter Sunny, 7, with whom Bullock was reportedly close, has "seen [Bullock] a couple of times, but [there's been] pretty much no contact at all for several months."
James describes in the book how he broke the news of his cheating to Bullock.
"I told her the hard details. I let her know that I had never loved this woman, that I had never cared for her at all," he wrote. "The feeling of shame and sadness that washed over me as Sandy began to cry was almost beyond measure. . . . I didn't touch her. I sat frozen in my chair, watching, as Sandy's small body shook with sobs."
Bullock composed herself, walked out the door, "and she was gone."
James was less chivalrous on "The Howard Stern Show" on Sirius XM radio Wednesday, saying that when Bullock would publicly say she loved him, "I was thinking, 'Yeah? ---- . You don't love me. I'm just some biker kid.' "
Bullock's publicist did not respond to a request for comment.
